My site is this one and if your not logged into Facebook you won't see the social plugin show all my facebook fans. I'm not sure if the app is setup wrong and I have used html, xfmbl, and Iframe but I get the same results which leads me to believe it might be the app settings.
When I look at it when not logged in, I get a prompt asking me to "login to see this content". This appears to be working as I'd expect it to.

I have a website that does the following:
Retrieve Facebook Page posts from a specific Page.
Display posts on website.
If a visitor is not logged in to Facebook, display a custom 'log in with Facebook' button next to each post. Otherwise display a custom 'thumbs up' button.
By clicking the 'thumbs up' button, the user is able to like the specific Facebook page post with their own Facebook account. Nothing should show on the user's timeline other than the regular posts that Facebook displays whenever a user likes something on Facebook.
I'm using the Graph API likes method (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.2/object/likes/) which requires the publish_actions permission.
Everything is working great, users are able to like posts on the Facebook page from the website, and the action shows up in their Activity Log.
The problem is the app is rejected for the following reasons:
Notes from our review team (Web)
The expected story doesn't publish back to Facebook. I've tried with different test users to reproduce the publish_actions, but nothing is publishing. Please check links and resubmit. Also provide a timeline screenshot of the publish story. Thank you.
publish_actions (Web)
We could not reproduce the requested permission. Please submit a timeline screenshot of a successful publish on Facebook, as well as detailed, step-by-step English instructions in the "Add Notes" section of the permission.
See here for additional information on login permission requirements.
I've provided step by step instructions, screenshots of the website as well as a screenshot of the user's Activity Log that shows them liking the post. Still no luck.
I think the problem may be that they are expecting some sort of story to be displayed on the user's timeline, which I don't need or want. I just want to let the user like the post from a Facebook page which DOES work and confirmed by everyone who's tested it on my end.
If anyone can point me in the right direction (I'm unable to provide screenshots or code here, sorry), it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
As part of a website that I am developing, I have a Like Gate Page that I want to use in order to force my site visitors to press the like button before they are redirected to the site homepage.
When a Liker visitor comes back for the LIKE Gate page he/she should be redirected automatically to the website homepage (he/she already pressed like).
Important:
The whole website including the Like Gate is not found in a Facebook App/Page Tab!
It is OK to ask the user to login before he/she can press the Like button.
Well, in your web page you could implement Facebook login and get user's permission to see his/her likes. Get said likes from Graph API, see if your page is in the list and depending on that, either show your web page, or redirect user to your facebook page. You will need user_likes permission for that.
By using Facebook Javascript SDK Methods FB.Event.subscribe, FB.getLoginStatus, FB.api, authResponse, pages.isFan, access.token and Javascript SDK and a little bit PHP SDK.
I saw one, almost perfect that can be site-integrated, fully-explained, and free in this blog: http://daneworx.blogspot.com/2014/02/how-to-force-users-to-like-your-page.html
I created a FB App to facilitate FB Connect authentication on my website.
Users can share content from my site to Facebook via the same FB app.
We also created a FB Fan Page to grow our community reach.
However a FB App is a separate entity than a Fan Page, whatever content is shared via our website to FB the App link sends the users to an empty App page while all the fuzz is in our Fan page.
I did an extensive research for this issue and only came up with this useful post here in stackoverflow: "Fan page vs Application Page".
Ideally i'd want the App link ("... via appName") on every shared item to point to our fan page.
I need to know if this is an issue that FB needs to address, if i am missing something and what do you do to solve this situation
Some apps are able to do this :

I also would be interested to know how they do this.
I've checked all app settings...
No, the App attribution on posts made via the API returns the user to that app's profile page - you'd need to have information there directing them back to your brand page if that's where you want them to go after they end up there.
I think in most cases people would click the name of the page or one of the links in the post rather than that small link at the bottom, no?
We have integrated a Facebook feed on our site. It only works if the user is logged in on Facebook. If the user is offline the feed tells the user to log in (the feed does not show up).
(Example, you have to log out to see the problem).
Most probably you haven't published your Page yet:
This page can't be seen by the current user. Please check page privacy
and visibility settings.
I can't seem to find exactly what I'm looking for. We're trying to build an app to run solely on a Facebook Page. We want to show a landing page if they don't Like the page, and the contest entry form if they do. This functionality works.
Before showing the contest entry form, we'd like to authenticate the user viewing the app so that they can just hit "Enter the contest!" and we can automatically pull a name/email address.
Any of the methods of authentication I've seen described, including through the Facebook Developer docs, don't work at all.
I saw something that said they need to interact with the app first, then you can get the id, but that doesn't work either. I also don't get the page id passed with the signed request.
Its also pretty unclear whether I should be using an iframe or just FBML.
Could anyone point me in the right direction, please? Thanks!
You need to create a fan page and add the FBML plugin to that page, then you will need to insert a short code that will determine if a facebook user has clicked 'Like' or not and by determining that you will decide weather to display the content of the landing page or not (using an iframe). You will probably like to also set the FBML box that you create as the default view for members who didn't press the 'Like' button yet, you can change the default view in your fan page settings.
On the iframe, you will need to use the Facebook API if you want to retrieve any user information from Facebook, for that, you will need to register a new application with Facebook. Go to developers.facebook.com for the API integration and app registration.
Also, what do you mean when you say:
Any of the methods of authentication
I've seen described, including through
the Facebook Developer docs, don't
work at all.
Well, it appears you can't do it that way. The client was very specific in wanting that functionality but we ended up convincing them to go for a redirect to the canvas page to have the app authorized and the contest entered instead.
